"Teammates by chance, warriors by choice."

07/28/2025

Happy Anniversary, my love.

Six years married, fifteen and a half together… it feels impossible to sum it all up in words, but I’ll try.

Remember when you asked me to play on your indoor soccer team, even though I had no clue what I was doing? That moment, that ask, changed everything. Who knew that saying yes to something so random would lead to the life we’ve built — a beautiful, messy, love-filled life that I wouldn’t trade for anything.

From just the two of us, and a few assorted roommates, to a home with two golden love sponge retrievers, six (now two) resilient chickens, and the sweetest, wildest little hurricane that joined us 14 months ago: ou lr lil Lily: our new world. Life looks a lot different now, but it’s richer, deeper, and more meaningful than I ever imagined.

You’ve taught me how to laugh when I’m overwhelmed, to rest when I’m tired, and to keep loving, even through the hardest moments. You are such a good man. A great dad, an ok golfer but a great teammate.

I’m so grateful I get to do life with you, through all its chaos and very seldom calm.

Here’s to six years married, and a lifetime still to come.
Cheers, my love.

Love you always,

Our 100 Box Jump & Jump Squat Challenge is ON!!

It’s about understanding your body and knowing that you possess the POWER to be STRONGER than you know! In partnership with good coaching, you apply your own maximum effort with a STRONG WILL to push yourself out of your comfort zone. This is the moment when you will EXCEL and great accomplishments will follow! Trophies and 1st place wins are never achieved with a paved path. There are always obstacles to overcome along the way. It’s all about the journey. In this case, our athletes are all given one of 2 CHALLENGES to accomplish over 7 days as follows:

100 box jumps (20” jump) completed in less than 7mins

OR

100 jump squats with depth to 90 degrees in less than 3mins

Raise your own bar.
Get comfortable feeling uncomfortable.
Find your own inner hero.
Inspire others.
Fuel your passion for competition with YOURSELF and with OTHERS.
Bring your team spirit to inspire others.
Be inspired watching others achieve.
Grow.
Get stronger.
Lead with courage & grit.
Find your NEW NORMAL.

Awards presented to top 3 in both challenges.

Keep an eye out for updates in our Excel with Fit&Fab Stories!

Go get ‘me!
Best of luck to all our athletes!

From Our House of Pain & Love,

Coach Nora & Darc
